Lyrics

Gridlocked (what would the caveman do?)

Dminor   -  F  -  Bb (2)

Dminor           F                  Bb               F
A subtle rain’s enough to keep the two of us from lover’s leap
Dminor            G                Bb
And far away from kayaking in shallow lakes nearby

Where motorboats are not allowed and a family begins to crowd
Toward dryer kitchens in cabins they’ve rented near the shore

Far from bored, we imaginate that we’re experts nearing season 8
On The “Let’s Get Crazy Cabin Crew” HGTV show.

And though we know this can’t last forever, a borrowed shelter in stormy weather
We’ll spend this time we have together, making mountain love

F    -   C      D       ?
We leave behind all the things that we’ve made
Hoping to find a more meaningful place
A change in perception, a chaotic wave
To wash us right over while we stand brave
A hole in the fence where the roads are unpaved
And ooze with adventure and lead us to caves
I know that we’ll leave here, we’ve people to save
So if there are gods, let me hold this mindframe

(2nd VERSE)

Dminor               F             Bb               F
A town and country odyssey, a wind star voyaging chevy
Dminor            G                 Bb
Astro mini superVan, and the family contained within

Know not if there’s a better way to make happiness stay so they
Promise they’ll return from home when chilly rain submits to snow.

So down the mountain, down they go, a CEO from old Frisco
A thousand up, a single horse, astride atop shiny new Porsche

There’s hella dudes, huge trucks with racks, 
extreme bro-brahs in fitted caps with bills to backs, forgot exactly what sport team they’re for

I was born to self Navigate, but ancient instincts get replaced
By embraced races safely leading fastest to my cage                      where there’s

F    -        C           D    -  Bb
Three squared Miles, a habitat encasing all the

Things I’ve made and the places where I made them
Three squared miles of easy flat terrain where
F             C             D       (notes back to Dminor)
Three square meals fill body and brain 


Dminor              Bb        F           Bb
With just enough to do to numb down the memory
C             F                C              F
Of rainfall mountainside, and being there at night

Dminor        Bb     F         Bb
Hard as I try to keep an inner energy 
C             F
steeped in Wild Scents, 
C               F
evaporation happens 
C                 F
unless it’s soaked again.  

Dminor      Bb       F         Bb
Nomadic Tribes may pepper my ancestry,
C              F            C                 F
But Nurture must win out, cuz I don’t leave the house
but
Dminor          F       Bb
What would the caveman do?  ( I ask myself)
What would the caveman do?
What would the caveman do?
